Systems, apparatuses, and methods in various examples include pipe adapter devices which couple the clamp device to the arrangement of first and second pipes, the clamp device having first and second clamp members for urging the pipe ends together by varying or setting a spacing between the first and second clamp members along the pipes and actuation means for operating the first and second clamp members to vary or set the spacing.

Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.

The invention refers to a pneumatic tube or hose (28) having a longitudinal axis (70) along a longitudinal extension of the pneumatic tube or hose (28) and having two ends each provided with a socket (30; 66) adapted for releasable airtight connection to a pneumatic port (26; 64) of a vacuum generation unit (2; 48) and/or to a pneumatic port (42; 64) of a vacuum utilization device (32; 44), respectively. It is suggested that at least one of the sockets (30; 66) of the pneumatic tube or hose (28) comprises at least one magnetic element (80) adapted for interaction with at least one respective magnetic element (78) provided in a vacuum generation unit (2; 48) and/or in a vacuum utilization device (32; 44) in order to secure the socket (30; 66) of the pneumatic tube or hose (28) to the pneumatic port (26; 42; 64) of the vacuum generation unit (2; 48) or of the vacuum utilization device (32; 44) by means of magnetic force (82; 94; 100). Further, the invention refers to a pneumatic port (26; 42; 64) of a vacuum generation unit (2; 48) and/or to a pneumatic port (42; 64) of a vacuum utilization device (32; 44), to which the socket (30; 66) can be releasably attached and secured by means of the magnetic force (82; 94; 100).

A system and method for self-aligning and connecting a device to a modular rack. The system includes a device comprising a connector receptacle configured to receive a connector plug, a connector seal and a bracket fixed to the device, a modular rack comprising the connector plug, a connector shell seal and a shelf configured to receive the bracket and guide the shelf in a plurality of directions. When the bracket of the device is inserted into the shelf of the modular rack, the shelf travels in the plurality of directions to self-align the connector plug of the modular rack to the connector receptacle of the device to ensure engagement of the connector plug to the connector receptacle. The connector seal is biased towards the connector shell seal to create a seal and ensure engagement of the connector plug relative to the connector receptacle.

A multi-functional fitting for piping, tubing or other conduit comprises: a body defining a channel between three ports; a test plug at one port; and a secondary valve at a second port. The test plug comprises a self-closing valve. The test plug is configured to receive a tip of an instrument such as a measuring probe. The secondary valve comprises a different valve configuration and is selectively operable between an open and a closed position. Coupling mechanisms are provided at the second a third port. In an example, the coupling mechanisms are different types. The fitting may be T-shaped, Y shaped, shaped or the like. A method is provided to measure a gas property or maintain a sensor processing unit using the multi-functional fitting.

A modular kinematic and telemetry system for an irrigation system includes a condition-based monitoring (CBM) system and a plurality of sets of modular foot assemblies. The CBM system has a housing and supports a plurality of kinematic and telemetry components. The plurality of sets of modular foot assemblies includes a first set and a second set that secure to the housing of the CBM system. The first set is configured to secure the CBM system to a first end gun configuration and the second set is configured to secure the CBM system to a second end gun configuration that is different from the first end gun configuration.

A magnetically positioned dryer vent coupling is adapted for use in combination with a clothes dryer. The dryer vent coupling includes a flexible exhaust duct, a first mounting substrate, and a second mounting substrate. The first mounting substrate is located at one end of the flexible exhaust duct and includes a first magnet. The second mounting substrate is adapted for residing proximate one of the dryer exhaust port and wall port, and includes a second magnet. When moved into close proximity, the first and second magnets magnetically attract to one another to self-align and self-assemble the first and second mounting substrates of the dryer vent coupling, such that the first and second mounting substrates create an audible snapping sound when engaged thereby indicating a close magnetic seal at the dryer vent coupling.

A remotely-operated fluid connection assembly to hold higher internal pressures in larger diameters. The assembly comprises a fluid connection adapter and a fluid connection housing assembly. When the adapter enters the housing assembly: (A) locking elements on the housing assembly constrict about the adapter; and (B) a first seal section on the adapter sealingly contacts a first seal bore on the housing assembly. Progressive engagement of a locking ring tightens the locking elements against the adapter. Internal pressure further tightens the adapter against the locking elements and the first seal section against the first seal bore. The fluid connection adapter also provides a release collar in adapter release embodiments. Extension of the locking ring away from the fluid connection housing during disengagement contacts the release collar and separates the fluid connection adapter from the fluid connection housing assembly.

A magnetic hose coupling system for a helmet includes first and second coupling conduit segments magnetically coupled to each other. The first segment includes a hinged clamp at a first end to attach to a forced air intake barb on a motorsport helmet and an angled polygonal mating surface at a second end with magnetic attractors in the polygonal mating surface. The second segment includes an internally threaded first end to attach to a forced air hose and an angled polygonal mating surface at a second end with magnetic attractors in the polygonal mating surface. The polygonal mating surfaces of the first and second segments magnetically couple together and resist rotational and sheer movement of the first and second segments with respect to each other.
